A Few of FR's Finest.....
......Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues;  salute
and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new
word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who
are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which
we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.  I
can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. The forum is read daily by tens of thousands
of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that doesn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!

And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

You're in luck this morning, louie. Amy hasn't been here yet. She and I were both up at 5:30, but I think she went back to bed, cuz she was making too many mistakes in her posts over on the FResno rally thread. :-)

Morning, Louie. Morning kayak, thanks for bringing lunch. Contrary to what louie says, I always share.

[ST.LOUIE1]

I had a cheeseburger!

You'll get fat!

Yep! Billie opened the thread for 'playful' comments and graphics.

JustFrank will have a field day! LOL

[Billie]

Ok, in all fairness, you WEREN'T here last year when that was posted.....Diver is not there, nor is Tonk. (I didn't 'know' Diver and Tonk at that time or they surely would have been!) :) Lodwick is. Maybe he will give you a hint, but he's still being awfully quiet about it. :)

[Pippin]

Hmmm, That makes five. Lodwick, Cobby, Dog, and Louie!

WOOHOO!

Now to try to guess the other 7 hunks, er, I mean freepers! LOL!!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Three sandwiches!

But....but....

Sheesh! Some people have a lot of nerve!

But I was gonna share with the ladies. They didn't. : (

Got any more food? : )

[Billie]

How CUTE! Well, we know we can rule out Louie - this kid looks too 'well-behaved'. :)

Humph!!!!! : (

Maybe it's JustFrank instead! Or Chadsworth!

[JustAmy]

I'm baaack and still making mistakes! If I wait until I make no mistakes, I'll have to stay in bed or in the corner all day.
